The turbine wheeland rotating blades are mounted on one shaft, which at the tur-bine end projects through the bearing and carries a fly ball gov-ernor mechanism, which operates the steam valve and providesan automatic constant speed arrangement for the blades. Theopposite end of this shaft projects beyond the case and carriesa worm which drives a worm gear, all being contained in an oiltight case bolted to the frame. The worm gear shaft providesthe motion for the screw conveyor. It also, on the opposite end,carries a small worm meshing with a gear, which further reduces.
